How does it feel to be physically attractive ?

You're asking everyone? As if you're the only ugly dude on the forum?

I'm asking everyone who's actually far more attractive than average.

For example, some chicks feel insecure because they're very attractive, and may think "do they think I'm a fuckin' whore or something ?" because they're feminist retards.

Huh. Explain this more.

Some people find me attractive. Some people find me sort of creepy looking. I'm among the latter half.

(This is the most recent photo of my me. For reference and stuff. I'm not the silly bald guy who is trying to look cool.)


It annoys me when people comment on my appearance. Not because I feel like an object but because I crave praise (okay, I said it) and I don't want to complements on things that I don't work on. If I put make up on or fixed my hair I'm sure I would be very flattered. As it is I want people to say nice things about stuff that I have to put an effort into. Anyway, I look 12.

Well, I'm not claiming to be exceptionally attractive myself and I never would, but I could see why attractive people would be more insecure as the only thing they're ever judged on is their appearance.

You mean there's more to them??

Aww luis, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure you have SOME personality deep down...

It honestly annoys you? Wow.

I'm kind of the opposite. I don't put much effort into my appearance really. Eye make up sometimes...
So when girls get praised for having great hair or skin when they're actually wearing a ton of make up and straightening their hair every morning before people see them.... it's kind of amusing.

Like false compliments.
I mean... I guess they ARE compliments. But only as "hey, you used that make up really well... you can make yourself look attractive with it. Nice effort. " instead of "you're beautiful"

That's the best backhanded complement i've ever received.

Fuck you too.

Yeah, I want an E for effort. Other wise people are complimenting my parentage which is shitty at best.

I wish I was uglier, so I can actually have drive to accomplish some satisfying work. Instead I tend to take extremely long breaks in front of a mirror just staring in narcissistic glee at some of my well apportioned facial features. When the time could be much better served reading or doing productive labour.

This time, for example, could have been better used to read about something interesting rather than inform this thread about how physically attractive I am.

I spent my morning thinking about how rich and successful I can become someday without even lifting a finger. How basically everyone will listen to what I have to say, no matter how vapid or controversial a proposal. I'll probably live a longer life than most of you just because there are far fewer things I have to worry about, and this brings immense satisfaction.

Really though, it's a fairly lethargic, self-satisfied and quite a bourgeois lifestyle compared to most.

Does this answer your question?

Let's see those pics...

only 1 old pic for now... I'll take the rest when I feel like it...

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.

[marooned]

Then you can tell the forum that I'm being serious.

Jxrtes is being serious, forum.

Security and insecurity aren't a result of one's appearance (though one's appearance can be the result of security or insecurity).

Most of the really attractive females that I've met are actually very, very insecure about the way they look.

Yeah. They suck.

[jessica129]

I have yet to meet an extremely attractive, insecure woman.

Maybe you refer to them as 'stuck up bitches'?

[strrrng]

I would say it doesn't really "feel" like anything. The feelings begin when you compare yourself to others or are complimented (or not). It's not like some fundamental source of confidence; it's more like something that's just there.

One of the most difficult thing about attraction is that it serves as a shroud. The idea of being attracted to someone and "falling in love" based on how someone looks cuts away from the various forms of compatibility that are necessary for certain kinds of relationships to be successful. But attraction is a big part of making one night stands successful, etc.

I want to add something. I think a lot of people fear looking arrogant, so they hide the fact that they are attractive. This is a stupid technique. As I said, my best friend takes this idea on board, and he's well liked by a lot of people. Except he takes it too far.

I agree, this is a very stupid technique, and is merely a more indirect form of egotism. what the fuck is there to hide? if you're hot, you're hot. it's not cocky if it's true - and you can sense if it's true (confidence) not just by someone's looks, but by their whole presence.

And that's my cue to explain what "presence" means logically. It's the intentioned flow of energy from one function to its dual, which rivets everything around it.

Yeah, the new generation, instead in the good 'ol days everybody just got the boyfriend/girlfriend their parents choose. That was fun! Like a russian roulette

Yes but it meant lots of drama, too. I would never marry someone outside of my own psychic domain... too much drama.

People ask why there are so many divorces nowadays, so many painful breakups? It's because you have so many traditionalists marrying adaptists, conservatives marrying liberals. The attraction is white hot in youth, but once the transcendent function emerges it breaks apart faster than magnets of the same pole.

With that statement I was talking about men who think they are god's gift to woman, or obese woman who show a lot of skin and boast about how hot they are. I don't know, I think a little modesty is always appreciated by the general public.

lmao, ok, I see what you mean.

I hate those obese women. I carry a silenced pistol, gloves, and a hairnet just for them.

I agree with those who say it has more to do with how you carry yourself. Being married, you don't have to worry about getting hit on (for the most part) so it's safe and fun to be friendly and confident. Much easier to enjoy one's own attractiveness when you're not nervous about attracting the wrong sort.

The other thing I'll throw in here is that as you get older (middle-aged like me), putting a bit of work into your appearance doesn't mean you have negative self-esteem. It actually means the opposite.
